Hosting & Deployment
Edge delivery, build automation, and serverless compute.
This layer turns source repositories into public web apps by compiling assets, delivering them through edge CDNs, and running serverless compute. Teams first decide whether the app needs server-side rendering, long-running containers, or a static frontend with serverless functions. Platforms such as Netlify connect a Git repository to continuous deployment and edge routing in one workflow. A common mistake is setting up a complex multi-server virtual private cloud for an early-stage project. An automated static host or serverless platform can offer better uptime, automatic HTTPS, and global performance with zero operational overhead.
